"You seriously....Did you just engaged to Manik Malhotra..omg!!" Nandini sat with palming her ears, hearing all the crazy and unwanted comments from her colleagues. From morning, the news of Manik Malhotra being engaged spread like fire everywhere. All her close ones were shocked to see Nandini was his finance.

"Oh shit!!You Chester, you didn't even say you have a relationship with him..how could..

"Will you shut up, Aliya?" Nandini yelled, which startled everyone. She regretted the next moment seeing Aliya, Dhruv's face.

"Guys I am sorry, but please don't talk about this." Nandini said tiredly, holding her head.

"Nandu, are you fine??Are you not happy with this marriage??" Dhruv asked, Nandini nodded.

"What??" Dhruv and Nandini glared at Aliya who gave a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, but Nandu, you got engaged to Manik Malhotra. You know how handsome, hottie he is.." Aliya said dreaming, made Dhruv jealous, Nandini rolled her eyes.

"I am not his handsome face, I need good heart." Nandini said bit her tongue, which reminded her of Shravan where she proved herself wrong.

"If you are not happy, then why??" Dhruv questions her.

"Not everything happened how I thought. It's Papa's decision, my father works as Raj Malhotra Pa." Nandini told all the stories to keep her worries down. She doesn't have anyone to share her problems with after her mother died.

"Oh god, this much happen, how are you so strong baby?" Aliya hugged her tightly, making her smile, Dhruv chuckled.

"Don't feel bad, Shravan doesn't deserve your tears too. I think you did the right job, questioning him." Dhruv said, smiling.

"Yeah!!I hate these boys. So only I said, Manik is completely different. Not all arrogant people are bad or every soft person is a good Nandu. In your case you saw in live." Aliya said dramatically but Nandini noticed a point in it. She already learnt a lesson choosing Shravan. She was fragile heart and soft like her mother, but sometimes times change, people do too. Nandini changed herself into a strong soul, keeping emotions aside. Marrying Manik is the biggest step in her life which she doesn't want but she doesn't have a choice.

"She has a point, you have time of two weeks between. Think slowly, if you don't want this marriage, we will help you to run away." Dhruv said, winking at her.

"Why??No, I want to see Nandini's wedding. Baby you marry him na." Aliya said, pouting, making both chuckled.

"Aww!!my Alu, I even want to see your marriage. Get married soon na?" Nandini teased Dhruv who looked away.

"No, I have many dreams, no not marriage this soon." Aliya said dramatically, Nandini pouted at Dhruv who hit his head near the wall.

"You should work hard bro." She said Dhruv who nodded making I know face, Aliya frown.

"Nandini, the boss called you." Her boss pa said.

"Shit!!I totally forgot it...I will be back." Nandini said to both who nodded, walked to her boss room, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." She walked in to see her boss, sitting with a newspaper which clearly Nandini knew where it was going to be.

"Nandu my girl..What is this??" She asked, flipping the newspaper on the table.

"Mia, believe me. My live itself is not in my control." Nandini sat on a chair making a crying face.

"I understand my girl, but there are a million calls coming regarding this. You know how powerful Malhotra's are, and the media linking them is not right." Mia said with a soft face.

Nandini's face fell,hearing it, "I understand, will send my I'd and others details by evening." She said with a straight face and stood up.

"Nandini sit down, i didn't complete." Mia said strictly, knowing Nandini very well. Mia, is a widow at age of 35, runs a media house successfully among all. She may be strict and Hitler for all, but she knows who and all do work, and mainly Nandini work impressed her more, so she sees Nandini as her own daughter. But be professional in front of all.

"What else is left?" Nandini yelled dramatically in anger,"I lost all after that bloody Malhotra entered my life..now this job, i am not at all strong Mia, please.." Nandini held the chair to control herself, soon she was taken in a warm hug by Mia.

"Calm down sweetheart..." She said softly caressing her hair, made Nandini sob silently. She made Nandini sit, and made herself comfortable on the table.

"Yes, letters and calls came to fire you but I didn't accept it. These people only care for money and their status, this company I built in my hard work, with my people. I can't lose an employee like you..You were a bold, strong reporter I met. You know why even after that accident I didn't fire you." Nandini nodded, no looking at her.

"Because you proved to me, you are the best. You know that the people who rejected you now were once standing in line for appointing you in their company but you refused. Then I understood you were not born for money. My girl was born to rule this world.." Mia said proudly, making Nandini chuckle.

"Mia, don't be dramatic." 

"Shut up I said right." She glared at Nandini who giggled.

"Sweetie, I don't know about Malhotra fully but I can say something, there is something hidden inside that family, which still hasn't come out. I don't know if it's personal or business, but they are devils with no emotion. Don't let them overcome you or suppress you. Don't...be yourself and control them. It's only way to survive there." Mia said seriously looking at Nandini who nodded.

"Ok Mia, I will keep that in mind." Nandini said, hugging Mia, who patted her back.

"I will leave now..see you soon." She said smiling, turned to leave.

"One second, I still haven't fired you yet. But there is a secret mission for you." Nandini frowned, tuning to Mia who smirked. She took cover and gave it to Nandini.

She took it and opened it to see a paper and I'd card, her eyes widened in shock,"Ohh my god...mia.. seriously..yayayayayayayay.." she rushed and hugged Mia in happiness, who laughed.

"I can't believe, I am a reporter again." Nandini said smiling, Mia nodded.

"Yes but you are a secret Spy too. You are going to be involved with Malhotra's, so you may be involved with other businessmen too, so their secret might come out. I don't want to fire you, but they gave this option only Nandini..It's up to you, you want to continue or resign your own." Mia said strictly.

Nandini smiled while hearing it,"Take your time, you have one week before your marriage." Mia said, patting her shoulder.

Nandini nodded and walked out thinking deeply about this. She felt more gaze on her from her colleague, so she just left the office after informing Aliya and Dhruv.

"No, it's not. Please don't call anymore." Neyonika cut the call and throw it angrily. After that engagement everyone calls them and asks about it. Malhotra's daughter in law is a middle class girl?? Even all media is spreading it line fire.

"Happy now?? Our name is getting damaged more. How could you just agree with him all of sudden??" She yelled, looking at Raj, Srikanth, Pavitra, Ronit. Mohini was smirking, Cabir and Arya stood silent.

"Neyonika, we said many times. It's his life.." Srikanth said strictly.

"Oh really, in businesses you guys don't see it. You all forced him to come back and take over the company. You should have left him there at least we shouldn't face it." Neyonika said angrily.

"He is your son, how could you say that Neyonika?" Pavitra asked in disbelief.

"I know he is my son. Don't create melodrama here, mother in law. I am speaking about my status now." She yelled.

"Mom, please calm down. We can't do anything now, Bhai won't step back from his words." Arya said.

"I know that but I can't have a middle class girl. If she enters this house, I won't be silent." Neyonika said angrily.

"What you will do?" All turned to see Manik standing with a strict reaction, which scared anyone. Neyonika's face changed into fear a little.

"Come on, Mrs. Malhotra, say. Like torturing her like serial mothers, or threaten her family or try to kill her. Emotional blackmailing, something." Manik said, walking inside, standing in front of her.

"Manik.." Manik raised his hand at his father who was trying to stop him.

"Don't even try any of it, you don't know me completely Mrs. Malhotra. Don't make me show that side of mine." He whispered slowly in a dangerous voice and made her shiver. Even. Mohini who sits near Neyonika.

"But I can't believe you stood for that girl s.." Neyonika words cut when Manik kicked the couch nearby and shook the whole place, Cabir and Arya rushed to stop him. Pihu, Navya, Naina, Shravan came running down hearing a loud sound.

"Don't, she is mine from the day I saw. It should be me, who decides to marry her or throw her out of my life, hurt her, love her, anything it's me..Even kill her it should be me, not you all. You guys don't have that right. Don't forget it." Manik said in a dangerous voice that made everyone shiver.

He smirked, turned to Mohini who looked away from him, and walked out from there. Shravan rushed behind him to his room which Manik entered.

"Are you going to hurt her?" Manik frowns, turning to Shravan.

"Don't act innocent, just now you said you will hurt her or kill her. Are you insane, you speaking like devil Bhai??" Shravan said.

Manik walked near him and made him shiver,"That's not your concern Shravan."

"It's mine because I love her."Shravan shouted, Manik let out a short laugh.

"Seriously love?? If you love her then why didn't you stop our engagement. You didn't even try anything to prove you love her, come on Shravan how will I know it?" Manik said sarcastically, which embarrassed Shravan,looked down.

"Bhai, don't do this." Shravan said looking down in tears, Manik tightened his fist seeing him.

"It's my life I can do anything, don't interfere in my life Shravan. Concentrate on yours, then depending on others or being a puppet of your mother hand." Manik ssid turning away from him, walking to his closet.

"You love her bhai?" Manik hands stopped hearing it, turned into a tight fist.

Shravan was looking at his all reaction, Manik turned to him smirking,"DOES A DEAD PERSON LOVE? I DON'T THINK SO." He said, shrugging his shoulders.

(😰😰😢)

Shravan was shocked to hear his words,"You changed so much Bhai..this is not my brother I know." He said in tears and rushed out, Manik glanced at his way and clenched his jaw in anger, hitting the door with his fist.

______________

Days passed, full preparation was going for the grand wedding of Manik and Nandini. Every person was lost in their own thoughts. Maybe this incident can bring a huge change in many life's or destroy some life, which no one knows.

Still one week left for marriage, Nandini is in deep thoughts about what Mia said to her. Reporter was her passion, wanting to communicate with the whole world and spread positivity and good things everywhere. She was never involved in crime sessions, she shared all the great environment news, but an accident changed her life. She got this opportunity again which she didn't want to lose, but at the same time, involving more inside Malhotra's, she didn't feel safe.

"Mam, we reached.." Nandini trance broken, by driver voice. She thanked him and walked inside the office of MM company. She walked inside to see the new receptionist. 

"Sir, Miss. Murthy is here to see you." Manik frowned upon hearing it, but nodded to send her in. He concentrated on his file and soon his door opened revealing Nandini, who came straight and sat in front of him.

He didn't like this disobeying act but didn't say knowing her nature.

"What don't expect me to follow your office rules." She said, shrugging her shoulders, made him roll his eyes.

"Can I know what makes you grace your presence in my office? We have one week for marriage..so desperate.." he smirked at her, which she ignored.

"I came to speak regarding that." Nandini said, showing a paper to him, which he frowned but took it and read.

"I want to make a deal with you, Mr. Jerk..sorry..Malhotra." Nandini said, biting her lips.

"It's bullshit..i won't agree to it." Manik said, slamming the paper on the table.

Nandini sat crossing her arms,"You should if you want this marriage to happen. Come on, it's just a small rule." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

Manik gritted his teeth glaring at her,"Should I read it for you clearly, I will..

So this agreement is between Mr. Manik Malhotra son of Raj Malhotra and Miss. Nandini Murthy daughter of Raman Murthy, who soon getting married, have some rules to be followed:-

1) this marriage is only for one year, no love emotion should come in.

2) no physical relationship between or touching, inline, no kissing or touching each other without their concern.

(Nandini smirked seeing Manik glaring at her)

3) every Malhotra should respect and treat Nandini Murthy as a human, not like a servant or maid. She needs equal respect in that house.

4) Nandini Murthy needs half of her husband's share of Malhotra's company or house, at the end of this marriage contract.

(Nandini looked at Manik, said,"I am not interested in your money. But I going to bare you and your family for one years so i need to be given big award but I asked small share alone" Manik just looking at her with strict face)

5) most important one, no one will force Nandini to give an heir for Malhotra's Kingdom.

"That it, if anything needed, I will add in future. Is that ok?" Nandini said keeping the papers down. Manik just glaring at her with a clenched jaw.

"Are you serious about it?" Manik asked angrily, Nandini nodded.

"I can't stay in a marriage where there is no relationship or emotions, Mr. Jerk.. Malhotra. Only one year that too for my father." She said, looking away in anger.

"Good..yes no one can stay in a relationship with no love, happiness or fucking emotion." Manik said, hitting his hand on the table startled Nandini. He stood up, walked near her, which Scared Nandini and palmed her mouth immediately.

"You think I am going to kiss you." He asked, raising his eyes, Nandini nodded yes and no.

He rolled his eyes, pulled her up, still Nandini palming her mouth," you think I will accept this contract."

"You have too, or I will run away from this marriage." She said, making a brave face.

Manik's eyes went from her eyes to lips, which Nandini noticed, palmed again.

"Fine, I will agree to it. But are you sure that you will not fall in love." He asked leaning forward to her. Nandini looked at his eyes again to osot in it.

"I won't fall in love again, mainly not a jerk Malhotra like you...stay away." she said, pushing him away.

"Agree to it and call me.." she said angrily and walked out, Manik smirked turned into an angry one, glanced at the papers she was given. He took it in his hands, read it, crushed it between his hands and threw it away,"I will see, one year is too long for me." He smirked.
